Post-rock in movies.
Jackie Blue:
I just watched 28 Weeks Later and it occurs to me how much "post-rock" music is used in movies. There was the GY!BE song in the original 28 Days Later, no less than two Mogwai songs in Miami Vice, and the entire score of 28 Weeks Later could basically be called "post-rock".
And of course there's that whole thing with Explosions in the Sky doing the Friday Night Lights soundtrack, but that's probably best forgotten.
I think this is a great thing, because frankly I'm tired of the same old "classical" sounding score music. Has anyone else spotted any weird song choices (like abovementioned Mogwai in Miami Vice)?
Inlander:
Only slightly related, but Warren Ellis has a nice little sideline doing movie soundtracks. The soundtrack for the Assassination of Jesse James, etcetera by Ellis and Nick Cave, while in a fairly traditional "soundtrack" style, is nonetheless absolutely gorgeous, and stands alone without reference to the movie as an excellent listening experience. The Dirty Three also did the soundtrack to the Australian film Praise back in 1998.
Jackie Blue:
Yeah, those are good. And of course there's that movie that Sigur Ros helped do the soundtrack for.
It was just really fucking bizarre to turn on the last scene of Miami Vice and hear "Auto Rock" playing, with no dialogue over it, very loudly.
Oh, and of course, the whole soundtrack of Vanilla Sky has excellent choices, from Radiohead to Spiritualized, but those aren't quite the same.
E. Spaceman:
man, what is wrong with the soundtrack to Friday Night Lights? The version with strings of Your Hand In Mine is absolutley gorgeeous.
Also, mogwai did the soundtrack to a movie about Zidane, and that other movie (The Fountain?)
Jackie Blue:
Oh yeah, the Zidane soundtrack is actually pretty decent.
Friday Night Lights wasn't bad, it was just kind of... I don't know, half-assed?
